Invertebrate Neuroethology: Food Play and Sex
نویسندگان
چکیده
How do animals perceive their environment and make appropriate behavioral choices based on those perceptions? New data have uncovered a novel sensory pathway that promotes Drosophila male courtship behavior in response to food.

Neuroethology and the philosophy of cognitive science
Neuroethology is a branch of biology that studies the neural basis of naturally occurring animal behavior. This science, particularly a recent program called computational neuroethology, has a similar structure to the interdisciplinary endeavor of cognitive science. I argue that it would be fruitful to conceive of cognitive science as the computational neuroethology of humans. However, there ar...

متن کاملToward an organismal neurobiology: integrative neuroethology.
Overt behavior is generated in response to a palette of external and internal stimuli and internal drives. Rarely are these variables introduced in isolation. This creates challenges for the organism to sort inputs that frequently favor conflicting behaviors. Under these conditions, the nervous system relies on established and flexible hierarchies to produce appropriate behavioral changes. The ...
متن کاملComputational Neuroethology Chapter
Synopsis: Computational neuroethology is the use of modeling and simulation to study adaptive behavior. The conceptual framework of computational neuroethology emphasizes that nervous systems are embodied, that is, sensory pre-processing, biomechanical properties, and the integration of sensing and action during active perception are all critical for behavior. Furthermore, animals are situated ...
